Information
has gloss	eng: Danny Farrell is a song by The Dubliners . Sung by Ronnie Drew in a gruff monotone it tells the story of an educationally challenged Irish male whose life (from an unpromising start) goes from bad to worse. The song is socially and culturally significant, depicting the struggles faced by Irish travellers (a minority within a minority at the time the song was written): limited employment prospects, alcoholism, homelessness and loneliness. Despite painting a bleak overview of this mans life the songwriter cannot but admire this "Pavement Peasants" inner core.
